Baden-Powell District Roundtable 

Combined Meeting @ 7:00 PM
Program Breakouts @ 7:30 PM

Who Comes to Roundtable?

All unit leaders, unit committee members, chartered organization representatives (CORs) and commissioners should attend Roundtable, but in the busy world today, it is understood that with everyone’s full schedules that all leaders might not be able to attend EVERY monthly Roundtable. But it is almost ALWAYS possible that at least one leader from each unit is available to attend the monthly Roundtable. Some units schedule rotations for their leaders to attend Roundtable to make sure there is always someone there each month.

What is a Roundtable? 

Roundtable is a form of commissioner service and supplemental training for volunteers at the unit level. The objectives of roundtables are to provide leaders with program ideas; information on policy and events; and training opportunities. It is a forum for sharing experiences and enjoying fun and fellowship with other Scout leaders. When skillfully executed, the roundtable experience will inspire, motivate, and enable unit leaders to provide a stronger program for their Scouts.

There are two main purposes of Roundtable:

• First. To provide the skill to do—skills, techniques, information, program ideas—the know-how that makes for successful unit operation.

• Second. To provide unit leadership with the will to do—the morale, enthusiasm, inspiration, and vision that periodically renew the desire to serve youth.
